RE: Best solution for merging EX servers??
I generally use the Roger "Ex-Merge" Seielstad tool in situations like this. It's not a perfect tool, it does tend to whine and demand being fed on a regular basis, but it also gets the job done. For the right price I might be willing to rent you the tool (price includes my small management fee of course). -Original Message- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 10:42 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Best solution for merging EX servers??

Re: Best solution for merging EX servers??
Actually this could be done with little work. You will need to setup some trusts between for administrative purposes and x400 connectors for com. between the differnent orgs. Add a new email domanin to the company being purchased and add the new email addresses as needed. They is more but that should start you in the right direction. How many users that are being brought into the mother company. If in the thousands then you will want to write a script to add the new email addresses. - Original Message - From: "Alex Alborzfard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 12:57 PM Subject: Best solution for merging EX servers?? > Scenario > --- > > Company X has merged with company Y. > > Company X has 2 locations: > East Coast - 1 EX 5.5 SP4 on NT 4, responsible for > X.com domain's mail > UK-NONE (Using East coast mail > server via Internet) > Company Y has 2 locations: > West Coast - 1 EX 5.5 SP4 on NT 4, responsible for > Y-west.com domain's mail > East Coast - 2 EX 5.5 SP4 on NT 4, responsible for > Y-east.com domain's mail > > Following is the connections between these sites: > > X - Y(East) : 512kbps (FR) > Y(West) - Y(East) : 256kbps (FR) > Y(East) - FR Cloud : 512kbps (FR) > > X and Y(West) have to go through Y(East) to connect to Internet. > > (There are additional/backup Internet connections as follows:) > > X - Internet(backup): 384kbps (DSL) > X(UK) - Internet: 128kbps (ISDN) > Y(East) - Internet: 768kbps (T1) > > Needs > > > 1- The new company has taken the name X and wants all employees in all 3 > locations to receive email > sent to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
